Farmed Salmon

Salmon is an incredible health superfood — it's filled with omega-3 fats, high in protein, and delicious with just about anything. But what most people don't know is that where you source your salmon has a huge impact on its nutrient makeup. According to the New York Times, "Salmon raised on fish farms were laced with far more toxic chemicals than their wild brethren." Kelly R. Jones MS, RD, CSSD, LDN, also tells POPSUGAR: "If you're eating farm-raised salmon, you may be getting plenty of omega-3s but also more saturated fat than in wild-caught."
